Maureen has been singing with her sisters since she was nine years old. Together they became one of Europe's first girl bands- The Nolans. Their success is legendary, including phenomenal record sales worldwide, particularly in Japan where they sold more than 9 million! They have worked with some of the world's most respected artists including a European tour with Frank Sinatra. The Nolans put an entire generation 'In the Mood for Dancing' and they recently reunited for the sell-out 'I'm in the Mood Again' tour.

Maureen is also an accomplished actress and has played Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers in the West End for 2yrs and on tour for many years to critical acclaim. She was the fourth Nolan sister to play the role, earning them entry into the Guinness Book of World Records. Maureen has toured the UK playing Sadie in the comedy musical Girl's Behind, Jill in Mum's the Word, Vi in Footloose, Sarah in The Naked Truth and has also played leading roles in 22 pantomimes.
